Auditor General Jack Wagner Proposes Reforms for Delaware River Port Authority

Says issues can't wait until Aug. 18th board meeting

HARRISBURG, Pa., July 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Auditor General Jack Wagner sent a letter yesterday to John Estey, the chairman of the Delaware River Port Authority, calling for ten categories of reforms to be instituted at the authority in light of revelations of management and fiscal improprieties at the authority over the past several weeks.
